Well have a look at this one!!! - Rainer has just finished it - hasn't even signed it!!!

He was not sure how this would turn out - he didn't do any pre-sketching on this at all. Sometimes that is best - just to let the hand flow!!!

He has deliberately not put any of his creatures into this one. So many "experts" have told him that his work is "too childish"!!!! - what fools they all are. Do they not see a GENIUS when it is in front of them!!!???

Modern art is full of so-called 'street art' at the moment........ skulls, blood and dribbles of paint. Can people not see that these 'artists' are not artists at all!??? - this modernistic art is just a continuation of graffiti - why do we have to have it shoved down our throats and have to suffer the injustice of seeing the walls of suburbia in our homes? Let us hope that this is just a passing phase, and the world will see the stupidity of buying what can be scraped off the walls of your local railway station!!!

Anyway - have a look at this wonderful 'surreal' piece from Rainer..........

Monday, 27-Jul 2009 @ 6:18 pmANOTHER COAT ......

Have just finished this coat - have a look!!! I've called this one SIBERIAN WOOLFE as it has the feeling of wolfe fur (but without the cruelty!!!)

This will be my LAST COAT FOR THIS SEASON.

Here on the Gold Coast we have a very short winter, and it is quite hard to think of wool for much longer. I will be turning my hand to spring/summer now, and I'm thinking of sewing coats and jackets with multi-coloured patchworks, but with 'interesting' bits (vintage jewellery, old lace and vintage doillies), so keep watching here - you will see the first ones on this blog!

I'm also going to be making a few more of my 'avante-garde' handbags, so once again...... watch this space.

Till next time -

Cheers,

Carol xxx

Wednesday, 15-Jul 2009 @ 4:27 pmAnother knitted marvel????

I have had this funny little critter for a while, and have only recently decided to put him up for sale. So if you think you can offer him a good home - drop me a line.

I have put more photos of him in the category of ART TO WEAR...... do have a look.

And remember - No poor animal has suffered in the making of this faux fur stole.
